Hunting
“Do you love it?” That is the question that startled me awake. It was asked by Grayson Crews. To give some back story to that quote, it’s 5:01 a.m, and the first good duck hunt is on the horizon. To say I was excited is an understatement. However, when he asked me that, I still…
“God blessed them and said to them, ‘Be fruitful and increase in number and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” Genesis 1: 28 You can’t wait to plug in your SD card from the trail camera…

I want to share an amazing story about my niece Gracie. Gracie grew up in a family that hunted, but she never really had the opportunity or interest to go until she was in college. At the age of 20, Gracie did something that would change her life. Gracie always heard about the deer, turkey…
It was Thursday morning before opening day of the 2023 season. I stood in the pre-dawn darkness in anticipation of the first gobble of the season. I did not have to wait long as the horizon started to lighten and a barred owl awakened the woods followed by the first gobble of the season. After…

Even with the cold mornings early in the week, there have been some really good catches. The southeast Georgia rivers are still blown out for now. Okefenokee, ponds, and saltwater have been very good. Okefenokee Swamp: I had a couple good trips on the east side this week. Shelton Hunter from Florida fished with me…
Boater Will Hart, of Danielsville, caught a five-bass limit weighing 21-lbs., 8-ozs., Saturday to win the MLF Phoenix Bass Fishing League Presented by T-H Marine on Lake Hartwell.

Fisheries managers with Georgia DNR are considering new regulations for shoal bass fishing. “Recent fisheries research, sampling efforts, and angler success have suggested Georgia’s rivers may benefit from updated regulations,” according to Georgia DNR’s Wildlife Resources Division (WRD). To measure public interest and gather input, the WRD Fisheries Management Section developed a Shoal Bass Survey….
The final day of the Major League Fishing (MLF) Tackle Warehouse Invitational Stop 2 Presented by Suzuki on West Point Lake was as dramatic as anticipated. With the clock ticking down, none of the leaders had pulled clearly ahead or had spectacular days, until Tyler Stewart of Dubach, Louisiana, iced it with a last-minute kicker…

Several days remain in the legislation session as this April issue of GON goes to press, and most potential new laws that could affect sportsmen are yet to be decided. A bill to define navigable streams in Georgia and a bill to create a Turkey Stamp were likely introduced too late for consideration this year,…

Normally when I get assigned a GON story on Lake Seminole I’m pretty darn fired up about it. I don’t know if there’s anything quite like a warm, summer day on the lake with the sun on your back and just enough breeze blowing to keep the gnats away. Fields of grass mats and lily…
As I watched Annabel Wilson walk up and down a woods road that led into a Jefferson County cut corn field, I knew exactly where I would put a dirt-hole set. “That little tuft of grass right there,” I whispered to Mike Wilson, Annabel’s dad. A minute later, the confident 20-year-old wildlife student at Abraham…
